Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
I think we now have a Cat 5.
143 kt SFMR reading just recorded - although the flight level winds are still below 140. At the very least 135 kt.

138kt is 159 mph, with low rain rate, so that should be enough.

If it warrants it, NHC will do it. They extrapolated an 872 mb pressure between recon missions with Patricia in the postseason just last year.
...Well I guess I don't have to worry about it anymore!

My posts are my own personal opinion, defer to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other NOAA products for decision making during hurricane season.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
The only concern might be that the pressure - about 941mb - is quite high for a Cat 5.

I hope we do get recon in there, just to increase the chances that it reaches Cat 5, and also to more accurately measure the intensity. Regardless, I think this is just about there anyway.

Matthew is just EXPLODING!!! However, there is NOOOOO WAY it's going to pull a Patricia (not even close).

PS: I see a special advisory coming.

This is absolutely insane this rate of intensification! Praying for Jamaica.

Hypercane_Kyle wrote:Can't help but to wonder if there's something about the topography of the coast of Venezuela that causes hurricanes in the area of 70-74W and 13-14N to deepen 50-60 knots in 24 hours. Felix's intensification in 2007 was also equally as baffling. Remember, Matthew was a sheared TS yesterday morning and now it's nearly a Cat 5.
Not sure about the topography of Venezuela but that it developed a small inner core close to S.A. like Felix did staying away from the strong low level diverging winds closer to Hispaniola, is what I am thinking why they both gained so much strength in such a short time in the same general area.

Re: ATL: MATTHEW - Hurricane - Discussion
Flight-level to SFMR winds ratio remains very close to 1:1, which is typical for storms undergoing RI.
NHC may go with either 135 or 140 kt, but I would still like to see higher flight-level winds before calling Matthew a Cat 5.

You just never know. If we had continuous Recon in Patricia, who knows what we would have found as it was on its way up. But there is no indication the CDG is going to wrap all the way around (something I have never seen in the Atlantic).

I don't think they would issue a Special this late in the game. Most likely just a Tropical Cyclone Update and then update the intensities at 11.

Silly question, but what does CDG stand for?
